Well, initially the picture shows the following: 3 – 0 = 5. To arrive at the correct equation, you must add two toothpicks, so the first one must be added on the left side at the number 3, to become a 9.
After that, you must add the other one to the number 5, adding it on the right side so that it also becomes a 9. Ready! With these small changes, we can see that the numbers are finally correct!
This is a challenge involving basic math. If you have kids at home, it can be a great way to get them to practice what they're learning at school. It is very important to offer playful alternatives to facilitate understanding and learning, so use this type of resource whenever possible.
